won his bets and saved himself from
defeat. The fact that the champion
lightweight of Canada should lee
so easily knocked out created not only
surprise but suspicion. In his various
battles Gilmore had previously suffered
but three defeatS-from Sam Rittle,
middle-weight, twenty-six rounds; Me
Aulitfe, twenty-eight rounds; Billy
Hawkins, in thirty-four rounds. He
had the best of Meyer in both height
and weight, being five feet six and one
half inches tall and weighing 135
pounds. Billy Meyer, the victor, is
twenty-eight years old, and worked in
planning mill at Streator, ILL., He has
had numerous fights with men of
little reputation, but has defeated Paddy
Welch, of Chicago, i'll three rounds, and
Charles Daily, of st. Louis in thirty-two
rounds, lasting two hours and eight
minutes. Either Meyer is phenome-
non, or he got in chance blow when
an opportunity offered. He will prob
ably have an opportunity to face Gil
more again, as arrangements are being
made for another match between him
self and Gilmore, to take place in llli-
nois. Meyer has consented to remain
in Minneapolis until Saturday and will
spar Gilmore six rounds at the Theatre
COmiQue for the latter'S benefit.

Mr.. BIaine,s Views.

CHICAGO, Oct. ia cablegram from
Paris says. Unless the winter breaks
early and severely. Mr.. Blaine will re-
main in Paris another month at least. as
he himself announced yesterday. This
will extend his visit longer than what
he intended to make it, and probably
keep him from Berlin till spring. He is
deeply interested in the political play
going on in New York, and is one of the
earliest and most exhaustive readers of
the daily American papers. Mr.. Blaine
regards the Henry George movement as
can success, both in the approaching
election and the succeeding one for
president. If the Republicans can
only retain their hold on George, and
George can keep his machine together.
Mr.. Blaine is of the belief that anyone
of our Republicans who have been
prominently named for the presidency
can carry New York state.

uninteresting one. Meyer probably
owes his easy victory to a chance blow in
the jaw. which knocked Gilmore silly.
and placed him at his adverSary's
mercy. There has never been fight in
the Northwest upon which so much
money was Staked. In addition to the
$1,000 stake. which was actually de-
posted. nearly $1,000 was wagered in
bets ranging from so to 500. One of
Gilmore's hackers loses 81, ,25O. and an
other, after putting up every dollar he
had, wanted to stake his gold watch.
The Streater delegation. number
Tom Kennedy, Meyers backer, banked
their all, even to railroad fare. upon
their favorite, and the Minneapolis men
met tl,em dollar for dollar on Gilmore.
Even after the ring had been formed
and the referee chosen 81, 900 was bet in
as many minutes. If Gilmore had made
better showing and the fight had been
a long and fierce one, as was expected,
there is no telling how much more
money would have gone up on the
result. The ninety-fiVe spectators who

The train arrived at st. Croix station,

lacked but two minutes of 1920 when
the men appeared. Wrapped in blankets
they looked almost like Indians.
Both were stripped to the waist, Gil
more, who first SHE'D his caster into
the ring, wearing blue tights and Meyer
white. A sporting reporter of a morn
ing paper was selected as the referee,
and announced that Gilmore would be
attended by Pat Killen and James An
drews, Meyer by Link Pope and
Sparrow Golden. while Messrs. Black
and Donnelly would hold time. The
llrSU IOur rounds dld not amount to more
than an ordinary sparring contest. and
are hardly worthy of description.
Both men struck lightly and landed
no effective blows, at the same
time laughing and exchanging remarks
of pleasant nature. Gilmore took the
initiative. and in the first round lead
twice with his left for Meyers face.
The Streater boy got in a facer and re-
turn which brought a tinge of blood to
GilmOre's mouth. The latter danced
around in confident manner, while
Meyer seemed somewhat nervous. The
second and third rounds amounted to
nothing. Meyer essayed rush in the
latter, but Gilmore got away with ease.

In the fourth round Meyer caught
sharp blow in the mouth. When the
fifth round opened neither seemed to be
fairly warmed up, and Gilmore finally
landed on Meyers face, and the latter
responded with rush, which took Gil
more to his corner and against the
ropes, which gave way. Gilmore tried
to work in an upper cut, but fell short,
when Meyer got in a right-handed
swing, landing on the jaw. Gil
more went to the ground, ap-
parently dazed, and when he
rcgained his feet received another blow
in the same location, which took him off
his feet again. He laid there until time
was called, and he was helped up.
Neither of these blows seemed very
hard, and it looked as though man in
GilmoEe's condition should be able to
receive such compliments without
wincing. Of course. many regard the
affair as hippodrome. AS the bets
